Maybe that will go away if they find a wide selection of vegetarian foods they like, but again I doubt that’s the case for everyone, and it definitely won’t overwrite any childhood memories of favorite foods/meals.

i too miss some meals from my childhood (hello grandma), but i don't "crave" for them.

you don't need to "overwrite childhood memories" (though it's exactly what you do every time you remember), if your reasons to become vegetarian/vegan are well thought through and through. Your responsibility is not to please every craving but to avoid unnecessary suffering. (preaching to the choir in this community?)

nowadays i only have cravings for steam cooked broccoli 🙃

For example, I’m quite certain the cornmeal pancakes my dad would make don’t contain any vital nutrients not satisfied by my current diet. But I occasionally get cravings for them anyway.

sugar is a very particular and charming monster :)
